Suppose that you were called upon to give some advice to a lawyer concerning the physics involved in one of his cases. The question is whether a driver was exceeding a 30 mph speed limit before he made an emergency stop, brakes locked and wheels sliding. The length of the skid marks on the road was 19.2 ft. The policeman made the reasonable assumption that the maximum deceleration of the car would not exceed the acceleration of a freely falling body and arrested the driver for speeding. Determine whether or not his decision is correct.

Conservation of Energy

In physics, the rule of the conservation of energy states that energy doesn’t disappear from the atmosphere; instead, it changes its form from one type to another. Energy is one of the most important physical quantities in nature, and it cannot be created or destroyed — only transformed.

Your answer is partially correct. A train at a constant 53.0 km/h moves east for 49.0 min, then in a direction 52.0° east of due north for 29.0 min, and then west for 59.0 min. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) angle (relative to east) of its average velocity during this trip?
You place a 0.18-kg sonic ranger on a low-friction track in front of a 0.50-kg cart to measure the cart's velocity in the Earth reference frame, which turns out to be +(1.0 m/s).

A friend is running toward the cart with a velocity of -(3.5 m/s) with her sonic ranger on and pointed at the cart. ▾ Part A What is the x-component of the momentum of the cart with the ranger stuck to it, in your friend's reference frame?

A proposal is made to use a giant spring in the bottom of an elevator shaft as a means of safely "catching" a falling elevator car. The car freefalls until it hits a spring, which is then compressed until the car stops. The car's loaded weight is 20.0 kN. The elevator will service 20 floors. Distance between floors is 4 m. The deceleration rate of the car should not exceed 10 g's as it is being stopped. (a) determine the requirements for the spring constant and the amount the spring will compress in order to catch the falling car in the worst-case scenario. (b) what do you think about this proposal? Is it practical?
